Starting out in the working world is hard enough, but thinking long-term about our career―and whether we even want a capital-C "career"―can be daunting and exhausting. Fortunately, there are concrete steps you can take to build a career that fits your interests, needs, and passions. This book is filled with practical advice from HBR experts that can help you answer questions like: - Should I choose to follow my passion, or focus on the paycheck? - How can I know if a job is really right for me? - What are my values, and how can they help me figure out what I want? - Are there ways to make the most of the skills and experience I already have? - What does it even mean to build a career? - And how can I move on if I realize I'm on the wrong path? This book will help you define the career that fits you, so you can align your passions and values with your daily work.
